Ingredients
- 2 cups Mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries)
- 0.5 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
Directions
Step 1
Rinse all the berries thoroughly under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the mixed berries and 1/2 cup of water.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally.
Step 4
As the berries begin to soften (after about 3-4 minutes), add the honey (or maple syrup) and lemon juice.
Step 5
Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring gently, until the berries are tender and have released their juices.
Step 6
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water until smooth to create a slurry.
Step 7
Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the berry mixture while stirring continuously.
Step 8
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
Step 9
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool for a few minutes. The sauce will continue to thicken slightly as it cools.
Step 10
Serve the mixed berry sauce warm or cold over your favorite dish. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
